Tagged solicitor Billy Smith
Billy helped me with signing a settlement agreement with my former employer. He made things really clear in a helpful and practical way and it was a great help to know I could rely on Billy to be helpful at any stage should further need or questions arise. He was always prompt with calls and never rushed things in any way. I would definitely use Billy again.

From the initial contact with Anthony through to completion of my case, I was highly impressed throughout. Anthony was extremely friendly but also professional. He explained in detail the terms of my agreement. I would not hesitate to recommend both BHP and Anthony for the level fo service they provide.
